2010 Map of Divide Well Draw

About this map

Arledge Ranch and Mills Ranch anchor this landscape of the Texas West Plateau, where the arid environment is defined by an extensive network of water-drawing infrastructure. This 2010 survey reveals the critical role of windmills in sustaining life and livestock across Val Verde County. Named features like Warsaw Windmill, Divide Windmill, and Sulfur Windmill are scattered throughout the territory, marking essential nodes in the local ranching economy. Transportation is primarily facilitated by Ranch Rd 1024, which cuts through the center of the quadrangle, passing near Rocky Point. The natural drainage system, including Devils Draw and Divide Well Draw, dictates the layout of roads and ranch boundaries. The inclusion of the Mills Ranch Airport underscores the vast distances and specialized logistics required for managing these remote properties in the early 21st century.
